History NoSympathy / FanWorks

* At one point in ''Webcomic/ScarletLady'', the eponymous [[NominalHero Nominal Heroine]] complains about Chat Noir keeping secrets from her, which he later passes onto Master Fu. Both of them completely shrug it off with a dismissive "sucks for her". Completely justified in this case, as Chloe/Scarlet Lady is an [[TheLoad incompetent]] [[GlorySeeker glory-hound]] who’s more interested in looking good than actually doing her job, and thus cannot be trusted with the secrets of the Miraculous.

** Adrien combines this with MoralMyopia after Chloe's KarmaHoudiniWarranty runs out. He angrily calls out Marinette and the rest of the class, accusing them of [[LackOfEmpathy lacking empathy]] for Chloe's situation, all while completely ignoring how much ''they'' suffered under years of her bullying and abuse. As far as he's concerned, the only people whose feelings matter are Chloe's and [[ItsAllAboutMe his own]].

* {{Downplayed}} in ''[[Fanfic/MissingMiraculousLadybug Missing]]''. Due to an akuma [[LaserGuidedAmnesia erasing Ladybug's memories of being Marinette]], she no longer reacts to others the way that she used to when she remembered her personal connections to them. For instance, she recognizes Alya as the Ladyblogger, who was previously akumatized into Lady [=WiFi=], and a member of that one class that seems to frequently attract akumas... but ''not'' as the girl Marinette considers to be one of her best friends. This causes her to act much more distant and curtly professional with her, much to her surprise.
* In ''[[Fanfic/RecklessnessMiraculousLadybug Recklessness]]'', Alya dismisses the sight of Sabine and Tom [[spoiler:mourning over their daughter's corpse]] as 'needlessly dramatic', as she intends to [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy rewrite reality]] by making a Wish and thus considers [[ExpendableAlternateUniverse their current reality to be completely expendable]]. The fact that Marinette's parents are completely unaware of this simply does not matter to her.

** Alya's parents are unmoved by their daughter's VillainousBreakdown, as she sobs about how she just wants her 'bestie' Marinette back. In this case, it's completely justified; Marlena spells out how Alya thoroughly betrayed her former friend's trust by encouraging the rest of the class to bully and belittle her, especially since [[spoiler:Alya ''knew'' Lila wasn't telling the truth and was exploiting the situation to 'take Marinette down a few pegs', intentionally aiming to break her 'bestie's' spirit so she'd be completely reliant upon her {{False Friend}}ship]].

* Averted in ''Fanfic/AGrowingAffection'' where Naruto, Hinata, Lee, Tenten, Neji and Ino are undercover at a beach but are allowed to goof off (to keep their cover as teens on a school-trip):

-->''...[he] was due for a much needed comeuppance.''

* ''Fanfic/TotalDramaAllStarsRewrite'': Almost no one cares about Courtney falling victim to infidelity anymore. Most of them write it off as Courtney failing to get over something that happened two years prior. Even Gwen, who does feel bad about it, wishes Courtney would let it go already.
-->'''Gwen:''' I am literally THIS close to snapping! I mean, it’s bad enough that Courtney hates my guts, does she HAVE to keep harmonizing about me! ...And you know what’s sad? It’s been like this for two years! TWO YEARS!!! ''(growls)'' So uncool it burns!!

* This is the ''Modus Operandi'' in most of the [[http://gungemaleceleb.blogspot.com.au/ Gunge Male Celeb]] stories. Celebrities getting their '[[DisproportionateRetribution Just]] [[HumiliationConga Desserts]]' will often have not even one person feeling sorry for them or their plight. Ever. Even the narration gets off on their misery sometimes:

''If anyone deserved a wedgie, it was Justin Bieber.'' [[note]][[http://gungemaleceleb.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/story-new-years-resolution.html By the time the story was published,]] Bieber had become a controversial figure, so in context, he was more of an AcceptableTarget than most of the other celebrities presented on the site.[[/note]]

-->'''Lila:''' "Oh, boo hoo, Adrien's mommy left him in a big house with lots of money and a bedroom with an arcade and a skate ramp built in! Wah wah, poor baby."

* ''[[Fanfic/WhatGoesAroundComesAroundMiraculousLadybug What Goes Around Comes Around]]'':

* ''[[Fanfic/TheWolvesInTheWoodsMiraculousLadybug The Wolves in the Woods]]'':

-->'''Naruto:''' ''[enthusiastically]'' Come on guys! Let's build sand castles! It'll be fun!\\

'''Naruto:''' ''[defensively]'' NO! ''[quietly]'' I never got to be five. ''[awkward silence]''

* ''[[Fanfic/WhatYouKneadNaruto What You Knead]]'':

* Among the great many [[BadBoss morally]] [[DisproportionateRetribution outrageous]] [[SerialKiller acts]] of the titular character of ''[[https://www.wattpad.com/story/93525786-the-daimyo%27s-grandchild-a-saniwa%27s-tale The Daimyo's Child [a saniwa's tale[=]=]]]'', her response to a child grieving over the murder of his grandfather is to ''beat him up'' for being "useless" and unable to save his grandfather.

%%* ''Fanfic/ScarTissue'': Asuka has little sympathy for people target her and Shinji in the post-apocalyptic world, saying that she made her best and fought to the end to prevent it -even if she was fighting for herself-, and anyone can return if he or she has the will for it. Therefore: You beloved person has not come back from the Sea yet? Not her fault and not her problem.

* ''Fanfic/WeightOfTheWorld'': [[PsychopathicManchild Russia]] has no patience for America's PTSD, depression, trauma, and touch aversion. Nor does he have any interest in understanding the intricacies of mental illness. He tries to force America to get over it by roughly [[TraumaButton grabbing]] and attacking him. It doesn't work, and only makes America feel worse. Russia is annoyed by America's "weakness" and taunts him about it, saying he will continue with this "game" until America stops flinching at his touch. He also admits he is doing this out of boredom.
* A justified example occurs in ''Fanfic/{{Xendra}}'' when [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]] complains about how all her boyfriends have been jerks. Xander has no sympathy for her because she only ever dates "bad boys" and is then surprised when they treat her poorly. He even notes that she dumped NiceGuy Owen for being "too caring, too smart, and too interested in what she did with her life".
* The entire story of ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/119688/1/you-obey/the-interrogation You Obey]]'' occurs because Chrysalis doesn't care if she has to use torture to achieve her ends, nor does she care what it does to her own underlings.
* ''Fanfic/YouSeeThem'' has the Phantom Thieves reacting this way to [[EvilCounterpart Goro Akechi]] gaining the ISeeDeadPeople ability that he was previously jealous of [[PlayerCharacter Ren]] for having and realizing that he's been BlessedWithSuck because [[spoiler:he can now perceive how mad all the people he killed are with him, and how their decision for what to do with him now that he can is that he has to help them all finish their UnfinishedBusiness so they can pass on peacefully, on pain of being haunted by them until he's done]]. Of course, it's justified considering that, well, [[spoiler:he killed every last one of those people himself, including the mother and father respectively of two of the Thieves]].
* The story described in [[http://community.livejournal.com/fanficrants/9759827.html this]] fanficrant.


* Socrates of ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' is this, threatening Hobbes with a PieInTheFace if he doesn't stop crying (in a real TearJerker moment), though he ''does'' have his [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold golden-hearted]] moments.
* [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/119688/1/you-obey/the-interrogation You Obey]] firmly establishes Queen Chrysalis as this mixed with YouHaveFailedMe.

* In ''Fanfic/ThisBites'', the only response of the Five Elder Stars after [[spoiler:listening to the Straw Hats' horrific ordeal against Lily Carnation]] are how they'd lost a potential anti-pirate weapon, which didn't even take out one of the biggest thorns in their side. Even Sengoku, a man who is NecessarilyEvil while trying [[NeverMyFault to downplay or outright reject the "Evil" part]], is grateful the thing is gone.

[[AC:''Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion'']]
* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': Ritsuko has zero sympathy or compassion for the pilots and their plight. In chapter 6 she shows she doesn't care at all for their reactions to a possibly upsetting situation:
-->''Ritsuko coolly went back to her typing. "We need Children like this, in order for us all to survive. They'll deal with it or they won't."''\\
''Misato half-glared at her. "Your compassion is heartwarming, Doctor! I'm the one who has to tell them about this!"''

----

* ''Fanfic/AngerManagement'': Lynn Sr., Luna, Lana, and Lincoln's friends are all impressed that Lincoln "stuck it" to Lynn and barely seem to care that she's injured.
* Among the great many [[BadBoss morally]] [[DisproportionateRetribution outrageous]] [[SerialKiller acts]] of the titular character of ''[[https://www.wattpad.com/story/93525786-the-daimyo%27s-grandchild-a-saniwa%27s-tale The Daimyo's Child [a saniwa's tale[=]=]]]'', her response to a child grieving over the murder of his grandfather is to ''beat him up'' for being "useless" and unable to save his grandfather.
* In ''Fanfic/DecksFallEveryoneDies'', most anyone who is not a main character gets this treatment (at one point, Yami is throwing bottle glass at a down-and-out Rex Raptor for attempted deck theft). Kaiba also falls victim to this trope. Not to mention the fact that everyone's situation (mass economic depression due to the fall of card games) is played for laughs.
* ''Fanfic/EpicTheThirdSurvivor'': In chapter 12, it's stated outright in the narration that Claire has no sympathy to spare for the mutated abomination William Birkin has become, since he infected Sherry with the G-virus and was responsible for the Raccoon City outbreak.
* ''Fanfic/FailureToExplode'': None of the adults around Katsuki sympathize with how his failure to get into U.A. impacted him. Mostly because he refused to make any backup plans, arrogantly assuming he wouldn't ''need'' any because he was so sure he'd get into his dream school. As his parents put it, his plight is entirely self-inflicted; [[IWarnedYou both had warned him to have a "Plan B" or two in place]], but he completely blew them off.
* This is the ''Modus Operandi'' in most of the [[http://gungemaleceleb.blogspot.com.au/ Gunge Male Celeb]] stories. Celebrities getting their '[[DisproportionateRetribution Just]] [[HumiliationConga Desserts]]' will often have not even one person feeling sorry for them or their plight. Ever. Even the narration gets off on their misery sometimes:
-->''[[SincerityMode ...but boy did he deserve it!]]''\\
''If anyone deserved a wedgie, it was Justin Bieber.'' [[note]][[http://gungemaleceleb.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/story-new-years-resolution.html By the time the story was published,]] Bieber had become a controversial figure, so in context, he was more of an AcceptableTarget than most of the other celebrities presented on the site.[[/note]]
-->''...[he] was due for a much needed comeuppance.''
* In ''Fanfic/HeatedStormYieldsAWildHorsesHeart'', no one has any sympathy for Ryoga when he admits he didn't make it to his duel with Ranma until four days after they were supposed to meet, with Kuno stating being a single hour late is unacceptable. Upon learning he might have knocked Ryoga into a Jusenkyo pool, Ranma initially sympathizes but Nabiki points out that no one made Ryoga chase Ranma all the way to China just to settle a duel over bread of all things.

* ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'': Over the course of the story, [[JerkSue Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way]] feels little sympathy towards her own boyfriend Draco, often making completely absurd explanations for situations in which he suffers.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' in some [=NaruHina=] fanfictions; his friends and the adults know that his childhood was hell but they're '''''constantly''''' mocking him and calling him dense for not noticing Hinata's feeling when she stutters and faints.
** Averted in some fics that have his childhood discussed and his friends discover how crappy he had it. Like in ''Fanfic/AGrowingAffection'' where Naruto, Hinata, Lee, Tenten, Neji and Ino are undercover at a beach but are allowed to goof off (to keep their cover as teens on a school-trip):
--->'''Naruto:''' ''[enthusiastically]'' Come on guys! Let's build sand castles! It'll be fun!\\
'''Ino:''' Ugh. Sand castles, really? What are you, five?\\
'''Naruto:''' ''[defensively]'' NO! ''[quietly]'' I never got to be five. ''[awkward silence]''
** Other fics seem to imply it's more of a matter of not wholly comprehending or understanding the situation. In the fic [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3183054/1/ ''Tempered In Water'']], Naruto requests another C-Ranked mission to help pay for expenses, much to the surprise of everyone (the premise is that Haku has survived ''her'' wounds and latches onto Naruto. She has moved in and thus putting a strain on his finances.) When Sakura accuses him of being greedy, he yells back that he's not before saying he ''needs'' the money (his insecure side showing), making Sakura have a revelation on what being an orphan truly entails, especially in a Ninja Village where becoming genin essentially means adulthood and not having the same availability to welfare as civilians would.
* In ''Fanfic/NeonGenesisEvangelionGenocide'', Dr. Ritsuko Akagi doesn't care at all about the pain she's put the [[ChildSoldiers pilots]] through.
%%* ''Fanfic/ScarTissue'': Asuka has little sympathy for people target her and Shinji in the post-apocalyptic world, saying that she made her best and fought to the end to prevent it -even if she was fighting for herself-, and anyone can return if he or she has the will for it. Therefore: You beloved person has not come back from the Sea yet? No her fault and no her problem.

* ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'': Shinji is very emphatic, but he has very little sympathy. He can understand other people's troubles but he does not usually give a damn about them, and he has little sympathy for those that whine about their troubles but do nothing to fix them.
* ''Fanfic/TotalDramaAllStarsRewrite'': Almost no one cares about Courtney falling victim to infidelity anymore. Most of them write it off as Courtney failing to get over something that happened two years prior. Even Gwen, who does feel bad about it, wishes Courtney would let it go already.
-->'''Gwen:''' I am literally THIS close to snapping! I mean, it’s bad enough that Courtney hates my guts, does she HAVE to keep harmonizing about me! ...And you know what’s sad? It’s been like this for two years! TWO YEARS!!! ''(growls)'' So uncool it burns!!

* ''Fanfic/TradeUsForTheWorld'': Marcy's parents swing back and forth between sympathizing with their daughter's depression over being made to move away from her {{Only Friend}}s and complaining about how she's not helping anything with her moping. The critical tipping point comes one week after the move, when she loses an expensive textbook. Her parents ream her out and make clear that as a result of having to replace it, she won't be allowed to buy a ticket back to LA and visit her friends over summer vacation. Shortly thereafter, she finds the music box and opens it, disappearing into Amphibia.

* {{Downplayed}} in ''Fanfic/MissingMiraculousLadybug''. Due to an akuma [[LaserGuidedAmnesia erasing Ladybug's memories of being Marinette]], she no longer reacts to others the way that she used to when she remembered her personal connections to them. For instance, she recognizes Alya as the Ladyblogger, who was previously akumatized into Lady [=WiFi=], and a member of that one class that seems to frequently attract akumas... but ''not'' as the girl Marinette considers to be one of her best friends. This causes her to act much more distant and curtly professional with her, much to her surprise.
